Chapter 597 -436: Unique Trial Civilization_2
“Yes.” Dong Gong received the order and departed.
Actually, there was no need for Shen Hao to overly emphasize; after receiving the precise coordinates of the Trial Civilization that had encountered a disaster from the Holy Alliance, Feng Ping had already personally gone to scout.
Without leading a team.
And just by nearing it, he profoundly felt a certain kind of terrifying crisis.
A kind of power at the level of laws blanketed the entire universe comprehensively.
Undoubtedly, that was from the Cosmic Devourer.
The Cosmic Devourer had indeed set its sights on this universe, and it had also realized that within this universe, there existed no being capable of restraining it.
After all, the fate line that had successfully resisted the Cosmic Devourer does not exist here.
Under such circumstances, it’s feared that the Cosmic Devourer holds a great deal of attention towards this universe.
“This moment in time, this turn of fate, this crisis—perhaps it is destined to befall this Trial Civilization, tsk, truly unfortunate.” Feng Ping couldn’t help but feel some sympathy.
Then again, speaking of the Cosmic Devourer, it is indeed powerful.
Feng Ping had also recently stepped into the Seventh Stage; after all, this Trial still required his presence in many aspects, hence Shen Hao specially granted him an interest-free Military Merit loan.
With it, he successfully entered the Seventh Stage.
Otherwise, this mission would likely have been detected by the Cosmic Devourer at the very first instance.
Because he could clearly sense that the gaze of the Cosmic Devourer was spread throughout the entire universe.
Watching everything, even subtly polluting everything.
At least, the Extraordinary Laws of this universe had fundamentally been altered.
Feng Ping wasted no further time, and directly located the largest planet within this universe.
In fact, somewhat unexpectedly.
Civilizations that develop to this point, other than Human Civilization with its special circumstances, most other civilizations actually each have their own distinct characteristics.
Either unique developmental paths or unique Mother Planet laws.
In a word, they have a masterstroke.
But this planet at first glance seemed not much different from the current Human Civilization Mother Star.
The primary tone of the entire planet was still dominated by forests and oceans, besides this, there were numerous densely packed cities scattered across the planet’s surface, these cities were also filled with a blend of transcendence and technology, with different areas having their unique features.
Indeed very similar to Human Civilization.
However, as Feng Ping truly infiltrated and began his detailed investigation, he quickly noticed differences.
On this planet, there were too many people, too many cities.
The density exceeded what an ordinary civilization could develop.
At a rough glance, there were at least tens of quadrillions of people.
Almost on par with the entire level of the Human Civilization System.
Naturally, all these people belonged to different Species, the cities they lived in also had different styles, which is to say, this Trial Civilization had integrated all the populations of the Affiliated Civilizations into their Mother Planet!
Moreover, Feng Ping discovered that among these Affiliated Civilizations, there seemed to be no clear civilization hierarchy.
Even most of the cities had mixed habitation.
All Sect Masters lived together.
And the “Mayors” of these cities, or rather “Big Shots,” came from various Species as well.
“Impressive indeed.” Feng Ping also realized the uniqueness of this Civilization, “How do they ensure that there will be no conflict internally?”
You know, even though Human Civilization is sufficiently open, the status of Primordial Humans must still be safeguarded.
Otherwise, as the Civilization develops to the end, it’s hard to say if it will still be Human Civilization.
After all, the speed at which Trial Civilizations assimilate Affiliated Civilizations is simply too fast, with no time for coordination between them, internal conflict is inevitable, and a clear primary-secondary relationship must be established to directly suppress some contradictions.
This is different from Natural Civilizations.
Although Natural Civilizations also continuously absorb other Affiliated Civilizations and grant the Species of Affiliated Civilizations equal status with their own, they possess an unsurpassed existence—Nature.
Under the affinity of Nature, the Primordial Race of Natural Civilizations still enjoys an extraordinary status.
Because they are closest to nature.
But at the moment…
Feng Ping reined in his emotions and once again delved into deeper observation.
This civilization is called the Allen Civilization.
A very ordinary name.
Simply because the planet is called Allen, and they also refer to themselves as the Allen Federation.
All affiliated civilizations, once confirmed as members, have the qualification to relocate to the Allen Mother Star, and even from within the affiliated civilizations, one primary and one secondary representative can be elected to join the highest council of the Allen Federation, becoming one of its members.
And this highest council, although it has a Supreme Chairman, operates on a rotational system.
Yes, a rotational system.
It acts more like a meeting coordinator rather than the ultimate ruler.
Aside from their individual rights, all matters concerning the future of the Allen Civilization require a swift vote from all members to decide.
“So that’s how it is.” After understanding the history of the Allen Civilization, Feng Ping came to realize why this civilization had become what it was today.
The Allen Civilization is one of the few that almost perished in the middle of its course.
It is a new civilization formed from the recombination of seven civilizations that had already failed in their Trials!
That is to say, in the beginning, the “Allen people” didn’t exist.
The word Allen was nothing more than an empty shell, its core had already changed.
And the reason this civilization was able to step by step reach its current state was merely due to the immense pressure given by the Civilization Trial, forcing the internal suppression of contradictions and to fully maintain unity.
Although each of their Trials after reorganization was either passed on the first or second attempt, every time it was quite difficult, lacking the ease of other powerful civilizations, and thus there was no environment for internal strife.
One can only say, the civilization reached a delicate balance between its internal and external environments.
But obviously, this balance has been broken in this Trial.
Feng Ping saw a lot of propaganda in many cities.
“Unity! Unity is the foundation of the existence of the Allen Federation!”
“The greater the crisis, the more we need unity!”
“Fear is useless, it only leads us to extinction.”
“Believe in the highest council, believe in the power brought by unity!”
“As long as we stand united once more, the Allen Federation will be invincible!”
“…”
These slogans seem to be merely promoting unity, inspiring people to face the crisis together.
This 𝓬ontent is taken from freeweɓnovel.cѳm.
But Feng Ping is very clear that true unity doesn’t require such propaganda.
No matter how difficult the previous victories had been, the Allen Civilization had already formed a strong cohesion.
It was brought about by successive victories.
But reaching the point where such widespread propaganda is needed only indicates that there are indeed problems within the Allen Civilization.
As Feng Ping delved deeper into his investigation, he quickly discovered that this was indeed the case.
Inside the Allen Civilization, there were several political factions.
First is the Holdout Faction, advocating for defending the Mother Planet and fighting to the death against the Cosmic Devourers targeting them.
Second is the Aid-Seeking Faction, striving to seek help from other civilizations, whether indigenous civilizations or Trial Civilizations, even going as far as becoming an affiliated civilization of some Trial Civilization.
Third is the Surrender Faction, which indeed surprised Feng Ping at first, but this faction truly exists; they plan to let the Cosmic Devourer join the civilization, to be aware of the Civilization Trial, to know about the broader stage.
And then there’s the fourth, the Disband Faction, where everyone accepts the fate of extinction and scrambles for individual survival.
There are also intersections among these factions, for example, some people support holding out while simultaneously seeking aid, and some want a tentative surrender to see the reaction, then make other decisions.
“This must have been influenced by the pollution,” Feng Ping indeed felt a sense of awe.
One can only say, this is the biggest issue when lacking a strong, influential voice.
